When the battery is applied to the electric device, the battery is usually installed on a mounting seat of the electric device, and the mounting seat is used for providing support for the battery and realizing the electric connection between the battery and related functional modules in the electric device.

The inventor finds that after the battery is mounted on the mounting seat of the electric device, the structure of the mounting seat of the electric device and the assembly mode of the mounting seat and the electric device are systematically analyzed and studied after the problem that the probability of damage of the mounting seat to the supporting structure of the battery is large. As a result, it has been found that, after the battery is mounted on the mount pad, the mount pad supports the battery in a cantilever manner, and in the process of using the electric device, loads such as impact and vibration received by the battery are transferred to the mount pad, and the mount pad supports the battery in a cantilever manner, so that the mount pad bears a relatively large bending load, and thus, the bearing capacity of the mount pad is greatly reduced, and under the action of frequent loads such as impact and vibration, the mount pad is prone to risk of bearing failure and even damage, so that the service life of the mount pad is seriously affected, and the risk of disengaging the battery from the mount pad is initiated.

Based on the above problems found by the inventor, the inventor improves the structure of the mounting base, and the technical scheme described in the embodiment of the application is applicable to the mounting base and the electric device using the mounting base.

The embodiment of the application does not limit the electric device in particular.

For convenience of explanation, the following examples will be described taking an electric device as an example of a vehicle.

The battery 2 may be provided at the bottom or at the head or tail of the vehicle 1. The battery 2 may be used for power supply of the vehicle 1, for example, the battery 2 may serve as an operating power source of the vehicle 1.

The vehicle 1 may further comprise a controller 11 and a motor 12, the controller 11 being adapted to control the battery 2 to supply the motor 12 with electric power, e.g. for operating power requirements during start-up, navigation and driving of the vehicle 1.

In some embodiments of the application, the battery 2 may not only serve as an operating power source for the vehicle 1, but also as a driving power source for the vehicle 1, instead of or in part instead of fuel oil or natural gas, to provide driving power for the vehicle 1.

Fig. 2 is an exploded view of a battery 2 according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the battery 2 includes a case 21 and a battery cell (not shown) housed in the case 21.

The case 21 is for accommodating the battery cells, and the case 21 may have various structures. In some embodiments, the case 21 may include a first portion 211 and a second portion 212, the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 being overlapped with each other, the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 together defining a receiving chamber 21a for receiving the battery module 3. The first portion 211 may be a hollow structure having one end opened, the second portion 212 is a plate-like structure, and the second portion 212 is covered on the opening side of the first portion 211 to form a case 21 having a receiving chamber 21 a; the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 may also be hollow structures with one side open, and the open side of the first portion 211 is covered with the open side of the second portion 212 to form the case 21 having the accommodating chamber 21a. Of course, the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 may be of various shapes, such as a cylinder, a rectangular parallelepiped, etc.

When the first portion 211 is covered on top of the second portion 212, the first portion 211 may also be referred to as an upper case cover, and the second portion 212 may also be referred to as a lower case 21.

In the battery 2, the number of battery cells may be one or more. If the number of the battery cells is multiple, the multiple battery cells can be connected in series or in parallel or in series-parallel connection, and the series-parallel connection means that the multiple battery cells are connected in series or in parallel. The plurality of battery cells can be directly connected in series or in parallel or in series-parallel, and then the whole formed by the plurality of battery cells is accommodated in the box body 21; of course, a plurality of battery cells may be connected in series or parallel or in series to form the battery module 3, and then the plurality of battery modules 3 may be connected in series or parallel or in series to form a whole and be accommodated in the case 21.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the battery module 3 shown in fig. 2.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the battery cells 31 are plural, and the plural battery cells 31 are connected in series, parallel or series-parallel to form the battery module 3. The plurality of battery modules 3 are connected in series, in parallel or in series-parallel to form a whole and are accommodated in a box.

The plurality of battery cells 31 in the battery module 3 may be electrically connected through a bus bar member to realize parallel connection or series-parallel connection of the plurality of battery cells 31 in the battery module 3.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the mounting base 4 of the electric device according to the embodiment of the present application is used for mounting the battery 2, and the mounting base 4 includes a base body 41, a supporting assembly 42, and a locking mechanism 43. The support assembly 42 is disposed on the seat body 41, and the support assembly 42 includes a first support seat 421 and a second support seat 422 disposed at intervals. The locking mechanism 43 is provided to the holder body 41, and the locking mechanism 43 includes a locking shaft 431 for penetrating a portion of the battery 2 extending between the first and second holders 421 and 422 and supported by the first and second holders 421 and 422 to fix the battery 2.

Specifically, the mounting base 4 is mounted on the electric device, and is used for carrying the battery 2 and positioning the battery 2. In addition, other functional modules can be integrated on the mounting seat 4 so as to realize the electric connection between the battery 2 and related functional modules, and further realize that the battery 2 normally provides electric energy for the electric device. The specific structural form of the mount 4 is not limited as long as it can be used for mounting the battery 2. Taking an electric device as an example of a vehicle, the mount 4 may be fixed to the chassis of the vehicle.

The seat body 41 may be a structure connected with an electric device and integrated with a functional module such as a control element, etc., and may be a plate-shaped structure, or may be formed by splicing rod-shaped structures, and may be selected according to specific application requirements.

After the battery 2 is mounted on the mounting base 4, the battery 2 is directly supported on the lock shaft 431 of the lock mechanism 43, the lock shaft 431 is supported between the first support base 421 and the second support base 422 of the support assembly 42, and the support portion of the lock shaft 431 for the battery 2 is located between the first support base 421 and the second support base 422. In this way, the locking shaft 431 effectively supports both sides of the supporting point of the battery 2, which corresponds to the double-point supporting of the locking shaft 431, and compared with the cantilever supporting of the locking shaft 431, that is, the technical scheme that only one side of the supporting part of the battery 2 is effectively supported and the other side is suspended by the locking shaft 431, the double-point supporting mode of the supporting component 42 to the locking shaft 431 can enable the locking shaft 431 to bear smaller bending load under the same impact, vibration and other load.

The first supporting seat 421 and the second supporting seat 422 respectively have a supporting surface, specifically, the supporting surface is a surface matched with the locking shaft 431, and the supporting surface can be a plane, a curved surface or a cylindrical surface, and can be selected according to practical requirements. The first support seat 421 and the second support seat 422 may be provided independently in the seat body 41, or may be integrally connected to each other and then provided in the seat body 41.

The locking shaft 431 may be disposed through the sealed structure of the battery 2, for example, through a sealed cylindrical surface of the battery 2, or may be disposed through the semi-sealed structure of the battery 2, for example, through a semi-sealed semi-cylindrical surface of the battery 2, which may be specifically selected according to practical needs.

Alternatively, a locking member 22 may be provided on a side of the battery 2 near the mount 4, and a locking shaft 431 may be provided through the locking member 22 of the battery 2.

The support of the lock shaft 431 to the battery 2 may be line contact or surface contact. The distance between the first support seat 421 and the second support seat 422 may be the same or different from each other in the support position of the battery 2 by the lock shaft 431. It can be appreciated that when the supporting position of the locking shaft 431 on the battery 2 is located between the first supporting seat 421 and the second supporting seat 422, bending moments born by two sides of the locking shaft 431 are relatively close, so that under the same external load, bending load born by the locking shaft 431 is minimum.

According to the mounting seat 4 provided by the embodiment of the application, the supporting assembly 42 comprises the first supporting seat 421 and the second supporting seat 422 to jointly support the locking shaft 431, and the supporting position of the locking shaft 431 to the battery 2 is arranged between the first supporting seat 421 and the second supporting seat 422, so that under the same load effects of impact, vibration and the like, the bending moment born by the locking shaft 431 is smaller, the bearing capacity of the locking shaft 431 is improved, and the service life of the mounting seat 4 is further prolonged.

The first bearing seat 421 and the second bearing seat 422 may support the locking shaft 431 in a surface contact, a line contact, or the like, and for example, a contact portion of the locking shaft 431 with the first bearing seat 421 or the second bearing seat 422 is cylindrical, and then a portion of the corresponding first bearing seat 421 or second bearing seat 422 may be a plane, a semi-closed semi-cylindrical surface matched with the locking shaft 431, or a closed cylindrical surface matched with the locking shaft 431, or the like. The method is not limited herein, and can be selected according to actual requirements.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the first support seat 421 has a first support hole 421a, and the first support hole 421a is used to pass through the locking shaft 431.

It will be appreciated that during operation of the power device, the impact and vibration load applied to the battery 2 may be directed in various directions, and thus the load applied to the locking shaft 431 and the first support seat 421 by the battery 2 may be directed in various directions. By providing the first support seat 421 with the first support hole 421a, the first support seat 421 can bear loads of the locking shaft 431 in all directions of the first support seat 421, so that the load bearing capacity of the mounting seat 4 can be further improved.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 7, the second support base 422 has a second support hole 422a, the second support hole 422a being configured to pass through the locking shaft 431.

As the first support seat 421 is provided with the first support hole 421a, the second support seat 422 is provided with the second support hole 422a, so that the second support seat 422 can bear loads in all directions, and the bearing capacity of the mounting seat 4 is improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the locking shaft 431 has an inclined section 4311, and the inclined section 4311 is inclined toward the battery in the extending direction of the locking shaft 431, and the inclined section 4311 is adapted to be engaged with the wedge 221 of the battery.

Specifically, the extending direction of the locking shaft 431, that is, the direction in which the locking shaft 431 extends, may be set through the battery and supported by the first support seat 421 and the second support seat 422. The wedge 221 may be a block formed in the locking piece 22 of the battery to be matched with the locking shaft 431 and used for being matched with the inclined section 4311, and the inclined direction of the wedge 221 is opposite to that of the inclined section 4311 so that the two can be well matched.

It will be appreciated that due to the deviation of the machining accuracy of the locking shaft 431 and the battery, good adhesion between the locking shaft 431 and the battery cannot be ensured after the locking shaft 431 is inserted into the battery. The inclined section 4311 of the locking shaft 431 is matched with the wedge 221 of the battery, so that the specific extending length and distance of the locking shaft 431 can be set according to actual needs in the process of penetrating the locking shaft 431 into the battery along the extending direction, and good matching of the locking shaft 431 and the battery can be ensured. Thus, the requirement on the machining precision of the mutual matching part of the battery and the locking shaft 431 is reduced, and the production cost is reduced.

The inclined section 4311 may be integrally formed and provided with the inclined section 4311 having a proper inclination angle.

In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 8-10, the sloped section 4311 includes a first sub-section 431a and a second sub-section 431b, the first sub-section 431a and the second sub-section 431b being in a stepped configuration.

Specifically, the surfaces corresponding to the first sub-segment 431a and the second sub-segment 431b may be parallel to each other, or may be set with different inclination angles. The first sub-section 431a and the second sub-section 431b are arranged in a step manner, so that the second sub-section 431b can be matched with the wedge 221 by moving a small distance along the extending direction of the locking shaft 431 under the condition that the first sub-section 431a cannot be matched with the wedge 221. By this arrangement, the difficulty in mounting the battery 2 can be effectively reduced.

When the battery needs to be positioned, the locking shaft 431 can be arranged to extend along the extending direction so that the locking shaft 431 penetrates through the battery, and when the battery needs to be detached from the power utilization device, the locking shaft 431 needs to be arranged to retract so as to release the locking effect on the battery. The protruding movement of the locking shaft 431 may be implemented manually or mechanically, and may be selected according to practical needs without limitation.

In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 43 further includes a driving member 432 connected to the locking shaft 431, and the driving member 432 is configured to drive the locking shaft 431 to move.

Specifically, the driving part 432 is used to drive the locking shaft 431 to perform an extending movement in the extending direction to achieve positioning of the locking piece 22 of the battery. When the battery needs to be detached from the mounting seat 4, the locking shaft 431 can be driven by the driving assembly to retract so as to unlock the battery from the mounting seat 4. The driving part 432 is provided to drive the locking shaft 431 to move, so that the movement of the locking shaft 431 is more labor-saving and convenient.

It is understood that the driving part 432 may be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a motor, etc. The driving part 432 is a hydraulic cylinder, the locking shaft 431 is connected to a piston rod, and the locking shaft 431 is positioned or released from the battery by the extending or retracting movement of the piston rod.

The locking shaft 431 may be exposed to the outside environment, or a protection device may be provided to cover the locking shaft 431 to protect the locking shaft 431.

In some alternative embodiments, the locking mechanism 43 further includes a sleeve 433, the sleeve 433 is sleeved on the locking shaft 431, and the locking shaft 431 can extend out of the sleeve 433.

Specifically, the locking shaft 431 is retracted into the sleeve 433 when the battery is not required to be supported and restrained, and is extended from the sleeve 433 when the battery is required to be supported. Through setting up sleeve 433, can protect locking axle 431, reduce the flexible pair of outside granule, dust etc. infiltration locking axle 431, and then cause the risk of locking axle 431 jamming. And the sleeve 433 can provide guidance for the movement of the locking shaft 431 during the movement of the locking shaft 431, reducing the risk of the locking shaft 431 being deflected.

The sleeve 433 may be provided independently of the first support seat 421 and the second support seat 422, respectively, or may be provided in connection with each other, without limitation.

In some alternative embodiments, first support seat 421 is coupled to sleeve 433 and second support seat 422 is coupled to first support seat 421.

By the arrangement, the first supporting seat 421, the second supporting seat 422 and the sleeve 433 can be connected together and then arranged on the seat body 41, the integrity of the internal structure of the mounting seat 4 is improved, and the movement precision of the locking shaft 431 can be improved, and the matching precision of the locking shaft 431 and a battery can be improved by connecting the three.

Depending on how the mount 4 supports the battery, the mount 4 may include one or more locking mechanisms 43. In embodiments where the mount 4 includes a plurality of locking mechanisms 43, the plurality of locking mechanisms 43 may be distributed in a variety of ways, such as, for example, in one, two, or more rows. The bearing capacity of the battery can be specifically set according to the mounting seat 4 of actual requirements.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the mounting base 4 includes a plurality of locking mechanisms 43, and the plurality of locking mechanisms 43 are disposed at intervals on the base body 41.

It will be appreciated that under the condition that the weight of the battery is unchanged, the plurality of locking mechanisms 43 are arranged to distribute the load of the battery to the mounting seat 4 on the plurality of locking mechanisms 43, so that the load of the battery born by the single locking mechanism 43 is reduced, the bearing capacity of the mounting seat 4 can be improved, and the service life of the mounting seat 4 is further prolonged.

In some embodiments, the battery supports and mounts 4 along a first direction X, the battery having a first surface disposed opposite along a second direction Y and a second surface disposed along a third direction Z, the first surface connecting the two second surfaces. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

Specifically, the first direction X may be a vertical direction, and the second direction Y and the third direction Z may be horizontal directions. The locking shaft 431 may extend in the second direction Y, may extend in the third direction Z, or may extend in other directions. When the mount 4 includes the plurality of locking mechanisms 43, the plurality of locking mechanisms 43 may be disposed at intervals along the second direction Y, may be disposed at intervals along the third direction Z, or the locking mechanisms 43 may be disposed in pairs, and disposed on both sides of the battery along the second direction Y or along the third direction Z, respectively.

In some alternative embodiments, the mount 4 includes two locking mechanisms 43, the two locking mechanisms 43 being spaced apart along the second direction Y. The axial direction of the locking shafts 431 is set along the second direction Y, and the protruding directions of the two locking shafts 431 are opposite.

By this arrangement, the supporting force of the two locking mechanisms 43 to the battery can be arranged as symmetrically as possible relative to the center of gravity of the battery, the stress balance of the battery on the mounting seat 4 is improved, and the overturning moment of the battery is reduced.

In other embodiments, the mount 4 includes a plurality of pairs of locking mechanisms 43, each pair of locking mechanisms 43 being disposed at intervals along the second direction Y, and the plurality of pairs of locking mechanisms 43 being disposed at intervals along the third direction Z, the axial direction of the locking shaft 431 being disposed along the second direction, and the extending directions of the locking shafts 431 of each pair of locking mechanisms 43 being opposite.

It should be noted that, each locking mechanism 43 corresponds to one supporting member 42, a plurality of pairs of locking mechanisms 43 are provided, and, correspondingly, a plurality of pairs of supporting members 42 need to be provided to support the locking shaft 431 of each locking mechanism 43.

It will be appreciated that providing the mount 4 with a plurality of pairs of locking mechanisms 43 may increase the load carrying capacity of the mount 4 to the battery and decrease the force applied to the locking shaft 431 of each locking mechanism 43. And the plurality of pairs of locking mechanisms 43 are arranged in opposite extending directions, so that the stress balance of the battery is improved.

In some embodiments, the mount 4 further includes a guide positioning mechanism 44 disposed on the mount body 41. The guide positioning mechanism 44 is used to guide the movement of the battery and position the battery.

It will be appreciated that before the step of inserting the locking shaft 431 into the battery, the battery needs to be positioned to ensure that the position of the battery on the mounting seat 4 is a preset position, and the accuracy of the mounting position of the battery is ensured. Therefore, the guiding and positioning mechanism 44 is provided, so that the trend of the battery can be guided in the process of placing the battery on the mounting seat 4, and the phenomenon of repeatedly adjusting the position of the battery after the battery is placed on the mounting seat 4 is reduced. And after the battery is placed in place, the guiding and positioning mechanism 44 simply positions the battery, so that the risk of displacement deviation caused by the placement of the battery on the mounting seat 4 is reduced. Therefore, the provision of the guide positioning mechanism 44 can effectively improve the mounting accuracy and the mounting efficiency of the battery.

The specific structure of the guide positioning mechanism 44 is not limited as long as it can provide a guide for the movement of the battery and has a certain positioning effect on the battery after the battery is placed in place.

In some alternative embodiments, the guide positioning mechanism 44 includes a guide 441 and a positioning pin 442. The guide 441 has a guide surface 441a, and the guide surface 441a is used to guide the movement of the battery. The positioning pins 442 are used to cooperate with the positioning holes of the battery to position the battery.

Specifically, the guide surface 441a may be a slope provided obliquely in a direction toward the mount 4. During the movement of the battery toward the mount 4, it may contact the guide surface 441a and move along the guide surface 441 a. The positioning hole of the battery gradually cooperates with the positioning pin 442 during the movement of the battery along the guide surface 441a, and the positioning pin 442 plays a role in positioning the battery after the battery moves in place. Accordingly, the guide positioning mechanism 44 is provided to include the guide 441 and the positioning pin 442, and the guide positioning during the battery mounting process can be accomplished by a simple structure.

The number of the guide 441 and the positioning pin 442 is not limited. Illustratively, the guiding members 441 may be disposed at positions corresponding to four sides of the battery opposite to the mounting base 4, and two positioning pins 442 may be disposed on diagonal lines of the battery opposite to the mounting base 4, so that guiding effect on the battery is more precise, and mounting efficiency of the battery is further improved.
